If you loved The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, try The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Terry Gilliam, and they both carry the playful, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Adventure territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is

A dusty carnival at dusk, a freak show banner flapping, calliope music fading. A deal with the devil hangs in the balance, souls to be collected, a troupe of misfits enlisted. Gilliam revisits his fascination with the power of storytelling.
